Ridley Scott said that what drew him back to the Alien franchise was the mysterious "space jockey" from his 1979 sci-fi horror classic.  It's certainly a fascinating figure, and it further added to Prometheus being a bit of a letdown.

But if you want to keep its mystery intact, Sideshow Collectibles is releasing a huge maquette based off H.R. Giger's design.  It has a remarkable level of detail to the point where you're really reminded of Giger's desire to include phallic imagery in everything.  The space jockey is looking through a giant dick telescope.

Check out images of the maquette below [via Sideshow], and click here to pre-order.  The figure is expected to ship late 2015/early 2016.
